Chiron 2021

We are delighted to share with you the 2021 edition of Chiron, the magazine for alumni of the Melbourne Medical School.

This year we are launching the first fully online edition of Chiron. In it, we celebrate the Royal Children’s Hospital’s 150th anniversary and shine a light on alumni and researchers doing extraordinary work to improve the lives of children and young people.

We are immensely proud of our exceptional Melbourne Medical School community and continue to pay tribute to alumni working on the COVID-19 response, from frontline healthcare workers to mental health practitioners, policy advisers, researchers and more.

To welcome you to this edition, Professor John Prins, Head, Melbourne Medical School shares his thoughts and reflections.

We hope you enjoy browsing this edition of Chiron.
